So amazing, fantastic, I belive this is the best story ever told. The best graphics for its time and better graphics than any other game for 5 years. But thats not what is important, there is so much hidden meaning in this game its unbelievable. Play it you'll love the game, and check out online, research on how they made this game, so crazy. What else that is so good about this game is that is so real, meaning every character has their own type of syco logical pain. And is deplicted well, this may not make sense, I can't really explain this game to anyone until they play it, but please do, this game should never be forgotten.

Horror Survival At It's Finest!
PostedFebruary 26, 2012
Silent Hill 2 is probably one of the bets survival horror
games ever made.
You play as James Sunderland, whose wife Mary has
just died 3 years ago or so it seems. James receives
a letter from his dead wife asking him to meet her in
the sleepy resort town of Silent Hill.
The game plays just like the original Silent Hill
but the graphics and sound are much better and
so is the gameplay.
It is much more scarier and atmospheric as well
esp. when you are exploring abandoned buildings
and Silent Hill outside at nightime.
The enemies are really creepy and scary. There
are items to find throughout the games such as
health drinks, first aid kits, many weapons and
ammo for them as well as melee weapons which
don't require ammo.
The town of Silent Hill has many areas to explore though
on a somewhat liner but thrilling path. Areas include
various outdoor locations, an apartment complex, an
abandoned hospital, Silent Hill Historical Society,
Tulca Prison, The Lakeview Hotel and a few other
locations including nightmare/alternate versions
of said areas and locations. You also have a map
but can only see it if you have access to light or a
flashlight.
James has a flashlight he will get eventually as well
as a radio. The flashlight is good for exploring in dark
places and the radio emits static when enemies are
nearby.
The Boss fights are not that hard except on hard difficulty
level. On Normal and Easy they are a piece of cake almost.
The storyline has some interesting characters in it but
it is hard for some people to understand and requires
reading some online material from Silent Hill websites
in order to understand.
There are multiple ending for people that play through
the game multiple times in different ways as well as some
bonus weapons like a chainsaw and hyperspray when playing
the game a 2nd time and beyond.
All in all this is a good but short (took me 15 hours to beat
first time through, second and third times and beyond only
6 hours) that is really creepy, scary and has an intense
atmosphere about it.
If you like Silent Hill games or Resident Evil ones even
Alan Wake I recommend this game.
